I saw an ep of tna once, every time a hit was about to connect it cut to the crowed, what is tna? wrestling for under 5s? it was pathetically edited for any violence.

every couple of years or so I have a look at the current wrestling on tv but can never get into it, find it boring with dull wrestlers (although the rock was fun before he left for movies) but aside the barely dressed women its pretty rubbish for me.
ill stick with the old school classic era dvds from 80s and early 90s ;-)

This depends on the time of day it is broadcast. After 9pm it should not be cut. Before 9pm it will pan away as they do with the WWE where they freeze the shot and you here the connection. It is all about regulations.

If you catch them at their usual 9pm or 10pm broadcast, you will see everything.

I watched TNA live when it came to the UK it was awesome saw Ric Flair woooooooo!

[BigSi13]

Becasue Impact Wrestling (formerly TNA Wrestling) is still relatively small, they have a need to drae the fans in as far as possible to build. This is what they do on non televised events such as tours domestic and foreign. I have heard many reports stating how they do meet and greets, backstage passes etc. This is something that won't happen in the WWE as it is too big with shows that have thousands rather than hundreds turn up.

I've seen them Live in Orlando on the 13 November 2005 (Tainted day for all those that remember)
Also seen them over here in the UK.

Very good they do backstage and the wrestlers are friendlier and feel more relaxed as not presured by 'my way'Mcmahon!

The thing is, TNA/Impact Wrestling talent have to go that extra mile as the pay is shocking and they are a small company. The WWE is a publicly owned massive company.

Matt Hardy has been suspended by Impact Wrestling (TNA) for various reasons.

Abyss and Karen Jarrett have hit back at his tweets regarding refunds for live events he was advertised for.

Is, or should I really say "when", he about to be fired?

[jakeblue]

Matt wont be fired whilst tna want to keep Jeff onboard

Sting has just regained title so were on the path to sting vs face Hogan, with a combined age of over 110, this is why tna will always be terrible and never grow

Apparently, as soon as the court case is done, TNA are done with Jeff. It all depends on the court case outcome. Vince is allegedly keeping tabs as well.

[jakeblue]

CAnt see that myself, TNA will have him back in a second, if WWE went back there then Vince is more out of touch than i thiought he was. Both Hardys are a cancer on whatever locker room they end up in.

On a side note, having seen Destination X i dont see what all the fuss is about with Austin Aries. He did little in the match, most of the action came from Low Ki and Jack Evans both of whom will hopefully get the contract offer they deserve.

Austin Aries may bring in the RoH fans as he has a huge following there. When he left RoH and went to NWA Hollywood, the viewership and attendance soared.

Vince is a PR man. If he is seen helping Jeff, then it would feed his ego. Matt is the "cancer" as he tried to live off of his brother's in ring talents. Something he does not have.

I expect Jack Evans to be signed full time, and Low Ki to mix Impact Wrestling with other commitments he has.

[jakeblue]

Nice to see Hogan giving away future angles just to feed his own ego, i really dont want to see him wrestling anyone especially Sting, isnt the combined age over 110??

Also TNA are now cashing in on the CM Punk angle.....will the WWE love ever stop in Orlando??

[BigSi13]

The combined age is currently 109. On AUgust 11th it becomes 110 years and in March 111 years. But, if they face off at Bound For Glory it will be the princely combined age of 110. And if Earl Hebner refs the match, it will be a combined age of 172!!!

[BigSi13]

Tonight is BOUND FOR GLORY and there are some great matches scheduled.

Brian Kendrick vs Austin Aries should be a show stealer.

Bobby Roode vs Kurt Angle will be a classic IF handled properly. TNA need to make Bobby champion.

Jerry Lynn vs RVD un a TLC/Full Metal Mayhem Match should be an ECW style classic.

AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels in an I Quit match is a dark horse.

A TNA PPV that I am looking forward to.

Who's behind Aces and 8's guys? I'm going for Jarrett to provide an angle for his return

Unless they chaneg their minds, it apparently has always been slated for Jeff's return.
